Happy Mother's Day to you. If you've still got your mum give her a big hug, kiss, or at least a phone call. And if you are a mum, thank you for all you do - and that includes doggy & kitty mums too. It's your day!!!

Really sad to hear the great Clem Burke, of Blondie, has died. One of the nicest guys to hang with and an incredible drummer who played with everyone from The Ramones to Eurythmics, and even filled in for Gina of The Go-Go's while she had surgery. Thanks for all the beats, Clem.

Krista and I are at our place in Mexico, and next door hanging from the tree branches are a number of lanterns that are always on, day and night. For the past three years every time I see them a classic 80's song comes to my mind that I can't stop singing. Which one? Any ideas?

After tonight at The Keswick Theatre in Philadelphia we say goodbye to our tour buses after almost 4,000 miles. The next three nights we'll be in a hotel room and a bed that isn't moving! I'm going to miss my late night chats with Howard Jones and Martin Fry, then crawling into my bunk to doze off.

Somentimes, life is a mind blowing experience. You wake up in New York, step outside for breakfast, and as you wait to cross the street you see a billboard. WOW! Now I have a Frank Sinatra song stuck in my head.
